One more logoon shot
Through my windshield (hence the spot- it's not a UFO.. i don't think) back to Kumara. I like this photo with the old and the new. Can't quite see but the old Lions Club "welcome to Kumara" sign and the new "KUMARA" sign in the background depicting goldminers. It's a good example of how the old town is slowly beautifying itself. This place used to be one of the biggest spots for gold in New Zealand, maybe even the world.. I wouldn't be suprised and even now people are still prospecting. The town, now about 300, has a bit of a ghost town feel since the mining has mostly ceased and people have to find new jobs to pay the bills. There was a working dredge here up into the 80s.. not too long ago at all!

Hi Julie,
Thanks for sharing your walk...is Kaiya on a boat?

i am going to go for the ufo theory. your area of the world is so beautiful and unspoiled-i think a trip down-under to the land of the kiwis and julie may be in order.
